Even the Astros of the past couple seasons never seriously threatened that dubious record.</p>
<p>As for the 5000 season tickets, the true amount of people wanting them is a little bit less though I don&#39;t know by how much. I recall reading a couple months ago that besides all the people who successfully dropped their season tickets there were others who were denied their attempted cancellations for notifying the team to late.</p>
<p>I&#39;d also like to second your comment on wishing John Henry never sold the team.</p>Orlando Dolphan commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017ee9e97d81970d2013-04-02T02:22:16Z2013-04-02T02:22:16ZOrlando DolphanThis team is worse than I thought.

Solano would not make 90 percent of the major league rosters and I cannot think of another team that he would start for. </p>
<p>What is the record for loses in a season? I really feel that the Marlins have a shot at breaking that mark. I almost fell off my chair when I found out the Marlins had sold 5000 season tickets. Really? Who would pay major league prices to watch a AAA team play 81 games? They must just not value their money?</p>
<p>I never thought I would say this but I wish John Henry had never sold the team. I love baseball and Loria has turned baseball in S. Florida into a nightmare. </p>Lou commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c3845f28b970b2013-04-02T01:37:06Z2013-04-02T01:37:06ZLouTest<p>Test</p>Lenny Bruce commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d4275093d970c2013-04-02T01:19:42Z2013-04-02T01:19:42ZLenny Brucehttp://miamiherald.comLouuuuu....come out..come out... wherever you are...freedom of speech is not alive and well...your presence has been requested to preserve certain...<p>Louuuuu....come out..come out... wherever you are...freedom of speech is not alive and well...your presence has been requested to preserve certain unalienable rights bestowed upon you as a U.S citicen by the Founding Fathers.

The reality is they are an inept,unqualified MLB operation ,that has recieved far more credit than they were due by winning the 03&#39; World Series. They deserve to be ignored, laughed at and ridiculed for what they really are, no matter whatever moves they try next. The fact that they bamboozeled the equally inept,unqualified,corrupt politicians to get their new stadium is no credit to them but more a statement that any shyster in a suit could&#39;ve done the same.

Nolasco has looked good, to all batters not named Bryce Harper that is, but as expected the Marlins batting and base running has left some to be desired. The young guys need to learn more patience at the plate. Though since this is the first opening day for most of them and having to open going up against Strasburg is a challenge even for vets I&#39;m not going to hold it against them now and see how quickly they learn. I was surprised at Polanco&#39;s base running error. I know he thought Stanton was going to tag up and head for home, but he should have glanced over or looked to the first base coach. I&#39;m going to believe it was just one of those mistakes a veteran makes occasionally rather then a sign of things to come.</p>
<p>All in all no one wants to open the season with a loss and a shut out loss at that, but given the off season fire sale and dire predictions from everyone it could have been a lot worse. The Marlins fought hard, played some good defense, and stayed in it the entire game with a team a lot of people are picking to go to the world series. If the younger guys learn some more plate patience and the team shows the effort they did today , they just may surprise people and win more games then last season. Hopefully that is what this year has in store for the fish, and not just a season full of saying it could have been a lot worse.</p>Stan M commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d42722a24970c2013-04-01T16:05:26Z2013-04-01T16:05:29ZStan MThat's my point.

Upon reading that article on the Marlin finances that I pasted above, one cnnot have anything but a dismal outlook for this team for as long as Loria is the owner. It appears that he is drastically under funded and has a staggering loan structure. In the article Samson even admits that this team cannot endure a payroll much above what it is now without attendance of over 30,000 per year. It&#39;s a given that such attendance will not only not happen, but that it will probably have difficulty reaching half of that number. </p>
<p>Can&#39;t cooler heads prevail as they say? It&#39;s also obvious that Loria can&#39;t possibly sell the team while that surcharge to the local government is in force. It&#39;s pretty obvious that he has to wait until that stipulation goes away before he can sell. My point would be that as long as the locals will never get that money anyway, couldn&#39;t they be persuaded to either waive it, or tack it on in some way to a potential buyer? Provided, of course, that Loria agrees to sell. In the long run the area and taxpayers would benefit more if a more responsible owner entered the scene. Perhaps even the Commishioner could step in with a low interest loan to any new owner to cover this charge. If nothing is done, Miami and it&#39;s baseball fans are doomed to more of this same scenerio which will feature very low payrolls, the trading away of all expensive players, and no chance for any Marlin team to compete for anything above 4th place.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t know if you, as a beat writer, could make such an appeal, but perhaps one of the columnists could take up the cause and add some publicity to this very real problem. There is much more to Loria&#39;s delemma than his parsimony. Our owner is in a real bind. He can stay as a loathed figure and destroy any semblance of baseball fan interest, or he can move on. The guy simply doesn&#39;t appear to have the resourses to do any differently than what he is doing right now. And that is doing no one any good, including Loria himself. </p>the Amazing Kreskin commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017ee9e58c87970d2013-04-01T13:50:27Z2013-04-01T13:50:27Zthe Amazing Kreskinhttp://miamiherald.comThe Fernandez early call up, starting the clock to his 1st Arb contract at least one or two years earlier...<p>The Fernandez early call up, starting the clock to his 1st Arb contract at least one or two years earlier than expected ,is further indication that Loria will be gone after 15&#39;.

<p>I think Marisnick is being prepared to be the everyday CF starting 2014.</p>
<p>As far as 3B, I wrote ad nauseam last season how big of a mistake the trade of Dominguez for a bunch of nothing (Carlos Lee) was. As I type this he just hits a single and brings a runner home.</p>
<p>Anyway, I will be interested in seeing on Jacksonville AA which player will patrol 3B: Noah Perio or Dietrict. Both are good 2B, but can&#39;t occupy the same space at the same time (yet). So, answering your question, I will go out and say Dietrich is the next 3B of the future (who will eventually not pan out). </p>rbleigh commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c383f6a73970b2013-04-01T02:18:32Z2013-04-01T02:18:32ZrbleighPete, As you rightly pointed out the Cuban community did not show up any more or less for Fernandez, Hernandez...<p>Pete,</p>
<p>As you rightly pointed out the Cuban community did not show up any more or less for Fernandez, Hernandez et al. However, I believe J. Fernandez making our 2013 Miami AAA Marlins is an actual baseball move. What I don&#39;t understand is why Fernandez threw only a couple of innings against MLBers this spring.</p>
<p>When is this team gonna have a bonafide corner infielder or CF, have there been any since Devon White in CF (P Wilson?) Lowell, and D Lee?. Ugh, to be a Marlin fan.</p>
<p>And for my yearly gripe on Loria: I do not doubt that Loria loves baseball but unfortunately he loves personal income more. How many sportsteam owners do it to make a buck? Not many, its like owning an airline. It turns a billionaire into a millionaire, you do it for the love, passion or ego and that&#39;s it.<br />
If Loria ever learns that owning a MLB franchise is soley for personal entertainment and joy and not a growth stock this team will flourish. Until then it&#39;ll remain floundering fish. Oh yeah, as I type this Matt Dominguez is up. Booty, Dominguez, Cox; who am I missing for 3B of the future who didn&#39;t pan out?</p>

Lee came &quot; pre-paid &quot; and he was a mostly good clutch hitter with the Marlins. Gaby was in a slumber, and couldn&#39;t seem to wake-up!<br />
Many nights, Mujica would have been better with a guitar, and he got a new gig in St. Louis<br />
Sanchez was dumped because of his ticket prices were going up for this year, and the two acquisitions have meat on it. We didn&#39;t want to mention this, but because we&#39;re on the subject, Eovaldi has about one-hundred strike-outs, in about one-hundred innings, which suggests that he&#39;s using extra velocity.</p>Stan M commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c383ec53f970b2013-03-31T23:26:03Z2013-03-31T23:26:03ZStan MLB, glad to see you back.

Maybe there will be another Marlin someday named Gorkys. It&#39;s a very common name in outer Slovakia. Are you still in contact with Lou? He hasn&#39;t posted in several weeks and I fear the worst.

Coghlan was a third baseman in college, so I don&#39;t know why they didn&#39;t at least give him a look at third during the spring. That way, he could fill in when Polanco runs downtown to pick up his Social Security check.<br />
And, of course, they could have kept Gorkys as their backup centerfielder. (Uh oh — there I go again.) </p>Orlando Dolphan commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017ee9e1bb53970d2013-03-31T21:51:57Z2013-03-31T21:51:57ZOrlando DolphanI am so tired of the Marlins fiasco.

Thanks Loria!</p>
<p>This was all planned by Loria. I thought he said that the stadium will cure all of the low payroll problems. Think about it, how did this guy become a millionaire? He did not forsee last year happening? Did he not measure the consequences of a loing season? He is now holding the city of Miami hostage with this AAA team. Now I heard that he needs a big TV deal. When does it end? He is waiting to kill the last few Marlin fans around. </p>
<p>We should be celebrating Fernandez and Yelick but instead we are just somber about the future of this franchise. It is sad when we are thinking when will Loria trade Stanton? Fernandez and Yelick (if they are great) are on borrowed time. Loria thinkgs that you build tradition in one year. You have to win consistantly before fans fall in love with the team. We need an owner that loves baseball. Get ready last remaining Marlin fans, this season is going to be as ugly as it gets. </p>Camera Mike commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017d426d70fe970c2013-03-31T20:57:44Z2013-03-31T20:57:44ZCamera MikeDesignating Cox is a bizarre move in many ways.

Wasn&#39;t he supposed to be the Marlins 3rd baseman of the future after the Hanley and Matt Dominguez trades? It could also bite the fish in the butt if (when) Polanco gets injured as the only players on the roster with experience at third are Solano who&#39;s starting a second and Valaika with no big league experience.</p>laurelbowie commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017ee9e17319970d2013-03-31T20:32:03Z2013-03-31T20:32:03ZlaurelbowieHey, guys.

I&#39;ve been out of touch for awhile, and now I&#39;m frantically trying to catch up on all the Marlins news from 3,500 miles away. Makes for a sad read, doesn&#39;t it? — especially the part where they traded the Clevelander dancing girls for Susan Boyle and her big sister Bubbles.<br />
And I almost peed in my popcorn when I found out the Fish had dropped a deuce on long-time Marlins favorite Gorkys Hernandez. That hurts almost as bad as the time the Pirates sent Eddie &quot;The Spider&quot; Basinski packing in 1947. It&#39;s hard to believe there&#39;ll be nothing left of ol&#39; Gorkys but a faint whiff of liniment, chewing tobacco and sweaty jockstrap wafting gently on the wind.<br />
Actually, I&#39;m glad they kept Kearns. He can&#39;t hit or field, but at least he&#39;s slow and injury-prone.<br />
So let&#39;s play ball, I say. The sooner the season starts, the sooner it will be over.<br />
Glags,<br />
I agree with you regarding the Fernandez move. What could possibly go wrong, right? I think it was Stan M. who pointed out that this kid&#39;s pitching motion makes him a perfect candidate for Tommy John surgery in the very near future. Take that, Stephen Strasbourg.</p>Glags commented on 'Jose Fernandez makes Opening Day roster; Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez to DL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2017c383e3288970b2013-03-31T20:31:21Z2013-03-31T20:31:21ZGlagsHappy opening day everybody.
